GAppsMod is a root-required Android application that tweaks Google apps (like Phone and Messages) by modifying the Phenotype DB flags managed by Google Play Services. It was a hobby proof-of-concept that is now deprecated and no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • force enable call recording on unsupported devices or countries
  • enable automatic call recording based on caller
  • enable call screening and advanced call screening features
  • list and change Phenotype DB boolean flags for installed Google apps
  • unlock hidden or region-locked features in Google applications

When to choose

  • you have a rooted Android device and want to unlock hidden Google app features
  • you want to force-enable call recording or call screening on unsupported devices

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool - the project is deprecated and Phenotype DB structure has changed
  • your device is not rooted
  • you want to tweak non-Google applications
